TV Scout was an Austin, Texas, based Digital subchannel owned by Broadcast Television Group LLC. [1]

As a multicast network, TV Scout aired a non-interactive program grid. The grid listed the over-the-air station and its sub-channels in numerical order over a two-hour span and could include a station logo. [2]

The network began dropping affiliates due to financial distress and began winding down operations. As of September 2015, KVHF-LD was the only Affiliate left to be carrying the Network; however, by mid-2016, KVHF began carrying a different on-screen TV Guide by Ventura Broadcasting Company.

In broadcasting, digital subchannels are a method of transmitting more than one independent program stream simultaneously from the same digital radio or television station on the same radio frequency channel. This is done by using data compression techniques to reduce the size of each individual program stream, and multiplexing to combine them into a single signal. The practice is sometimes called "multicasting".
